I bought this board w/ all other new components to build a new system.
I hooked everything up and a resistor or diode started smoking! The
board refuses to post after said smoking occurred.
This will be the third board of this brand in a row this has happened
to...exactly the same every time. I plug them in put components in and
they smoke...same place. I was using a stock power supply that came w/
the case that I bought new from this place so after the second burned
board I got a new PS and RMA'd the board (the old PS didn't have a -5
rail for some reason so I thought that was the problem. I put it
together again today w/ new PS (completely diff brand) and the damn
thing smoked again...dunno if it is the board but it isn't the PS thats
for sure. I have it plugged into a power strip that the old comp was
plugged into also.
Other components are as follows:
Board 1
Asrock....
Stock xion PS and case (MS)
MWAVE brand ram 2gigs
3500+ AMD
250 gig SATA hdd....?brand.
Board2 same as board 1
Board3
Asrock...new after 2nd RMA
Aspire PHATTY new PS and Xion case again
same ram
same processor
same hdd
What are the chances of 3 in a row?
I'm either retarded or one unlucky bastard.
